Engage, Educate, Encourage and Enforce – so goes the current mantra of An Garda Siochána with many members saying that the last bit, enforce, is a last resort.
You’ll often see Gardaí in the course of their duties across Carlow & Kilkenny; manning checkpoints, on the beat, helping in the community and so on, but there’s one whose focus has been very much online, that of the newest local recruit: Sergeant Edward Bear, or Ted for short.
There’s been no better engagement than that of the Bear who’s managed to captivate young & old with his escapades.
He’s sent rogue traders packing …
He’s putting away the bad guys …
And helping those in need …
He’s provided safety tips at Hallowe’en …
And he’s been out & about on checkpoints …
He even paid a visit to us here at KCLR as he considered helping out with the weekly garda slot, though we think he had other ideas …
